What is ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus?

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

What is NocoDB?

With Interfaces, NocoDB stops being a database view and starts being an app builder.

NocoDB's monthly releases alternate between view types and data-source reach. In three months it added Gantt, Shared Pages, Calendar Sync, image annotations and Oracle as a connectable source, alongside routine bug-fix and dependency releases. The August release breaks that pattern: Interfaces lets you build focused apps on top of a base instead of handing users the whole base.

ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus vs NocoDB: editorial side-by-side

M2.5

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

◆ Current state

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is coverage expansion: methodically extending what can be backed up and restored across on-prem AD and Entra ID, while broadening cloud storage targets and operational integrations. The dependence on Microsoft's own PowerShell modules is the cost of that coverage, and 6322 shows where it bites — a stale module on the customer's side takes the product down mid-enumeration. Feature builds and pure-fix builds alternate at roughly a two-month cadence, so a single-issue build reads as a gap between feature cycles rather than a slowdown.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build; the next build carrying a Features section is due on the cadence this feed has held.

6.3

With Interfaces, NocoDB stops being a database view and starts being an app builder.

◆ Current state

NocoDB's monthly releases alternate between view types and data-source reach. In three months it added Gantt, Shared Pages, Calendar Sync, image annotations and Oracle as a connectable source, alongside routine bug-fix and dependency releases. The August release breaks that pattern: Interfaces lets you build focused apps on top of a base instead of handing users the whole base.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is away from 'spreadsheet with a nicer grid' and toward the internal-tools layer. Every recent addition points the same way — more data sources to sit on top of, more ways to present a table to someone who isn't the person who built it, and now a way to hide the base entirely behind a purpose-built page. The Enterprise-only Oracle add-on shows where the monetization pressure is coming from.

◆ Prediction

Interfaces will need the pieces app builders always need next — permissions and role targeting per page, write-back actions, and embedding — and the CE/paid split in each release table suggests some of that lands on the paid tier.
